hagel. >> let me ask you one last question briefly about chuck hagel. what do you know about how things are going for senator hagel in terms of trying to win over his critics? what is happening with that nomination? >> i have communicated with him, and he is off meeting members of congress. over 24 senators in the last couple of days. he has a lot of other senators. and he is communicating to them that he is strongly supportive of the shaheen thaemt provides support for women in the military who have been raped, regarding abortions. he says he is really going to be a strong leader inside the military of really dealing with something which is a taboo and horrible subject, which is rape in the military of american servicemen against american servicewomen, and also indicating that he is going to be a strong and adamant advocate of continuing the process of aligning with the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." so i think all of those messages he is communicating very solidly, and, you know, he is working senator through senator. i'm hearing it's going well.
